I am just starting to learn ASP.NET, and I’m confused by the difference between HTML helpers and server controls.
Why would I use
<asp:Label><asp:Label>
as opposed to
<%: Html.Label %>
It seems easier to use HTML helpers for getting POST data back, but server controls seem to offer a little more customization. Can anyone clarify?
Server controls are usually for when you are working with ASP WebForms, while HTML helpers are a feature primarily used with ASP MVC.
I understand you can mix them, but you are probably better off picking one and sticking with it.
